YR-503M Color (Rosewood brown)

[Hondapawa]

Hi , i resently started to repair rust on my car. I went to a autopart dealer so they can make me one can of YR-503M paint. Witch is the code written on the sticker on b pillar. And the paint isnt the same as the one on my car. ( The car hasn't been repainted ). So the guy took a machine who analysed the color of my car and the paint turned more black than mine... My car is Rosewood brown and its a 92... Anyone can help, i've also looked at the Ultimate CB7 paind Code thread...

17 year old paint is faded, contaminated, etc.
It won't look like it did right out of the factory. It'll look like the paint you currently have in a can.

I sort of like that billet style grill in your first pic

Ive heard from a few places that Rosewood is a REALLY difficult colour to match .... my 9 is Rosewood and I had to get the doglegs fixed

All the elements mentioned above do take there toll on paint, regardless of the surface. So you have to factor that in.

i used it for my qp when i did my rust patches. you won't see a difference after you wet sand it etc. when i painted my front fender, then i saw the difference in color between my newly painted fender and the hood.... put the clear coat on and then see if there is a difference between the newly painted part and the old paint.

bring in your hood and tell him to match that

rosewood brown ftw, only the fastest cb's were equipped with this extravagant color. hahaha

its damn near impossible to get a perfect match from panel painting thats why it is almost always blended into the adjacent panel. Besides your also relying on a human being to make you a can of paint with a system that involves pouring very specific amounts of different tints to achieve a final product, and human beings are not perfect.

another reason for not havin matching paint aside of the original paint being faded.

It's just about impossible to match metallic paint. Like if you need a fender re-painted, plan on painting the entire side of the car.
